How is an enzyme, Pepsin, able to break down dietary fat in the stomach? Please help me. I'm confused.

<span>Protein is digested by the enzyme called pepsin. The stomach has naturally produced the enzyme. Pepsin is considered to be a digestive protease that breaks down dietary protein into simpler forms. Together with chymotrypsin and trypsin, pepsin is the main protein – digesting enzyme. Specifically, pepsin is most effective in breaking down the bonds of certain simple protein molecules like phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine.</span>

Uric acid is transported across epithelial cells in the kidneys by an organic acid transporter (OAT) membrane transport protein.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Competition

Explanation:

Transportation of some molecules can not be through simple diffusion due to their size or other factors.

Therefore carrier proteins known as transporters are needed to facilitate their transportation.

Transporters exhibit or demonstrate characteristics such as competition,

During competition, presence of a certain molecule decreases the transportation of another molecule.

When Uric acid transportation is decreased due to the presence of probenecid is a good example of competition.

make the connection: your heart is dependent on oxygen from your respiratory system, and it is delivered by the(1 point)
lidiya [134]

Oxygen from the respiratory system is delivered by the circulatory system.

<h3>What is the relationship between respiratory and circulatory system?</h3>

The respiratory system is responsible for delivering oxygen to the circulatory system that is made up of blood vessels which carry blood to the heart and then all cells of our body. Arteries carry blood that is loaded with oxygen from the heart to all cells whereas veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart and then to the lungs for disposing carbondioxide. The circulatory system carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and removes waste products such as carbon dioxide.

So we can conclude that Oxygen from the respiratory system is delivered by the circulatory system.

The structure of protein molecules describe ?
artcher [175]
Proteins are polymers composed of repeating units of amino acids, linked via peptide bonds (bonds between the amine and carboxyl groups of the adjacent amino acids). All proteins have a primary, secondary and tertiary structure and some, such as haemoglobin, have a quaternary structure. 

Primary structure of the proteins are the sequence of amino acids and their order. The "R" regions of the amino acids determine the proteins secondary tertiary and quaternary structures.

In the secondary structure, the protein folds into either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. This occurs due to hydrogen bonding between the "R" group of the amino acids.

The tertiary structure gives the protein its 3D shape. Here it is folded further and more bonds (such as disulphide bonds) also form.

In the quaternary structure, prosthetic groups (e.g. a haem group for haemoglobin) is added. If the protein has more than one protein chains, here the chains join to form the final protein.
